Reactions and Reviews
For having been little more than a sex scene, this was an amazingly good post-"Balance of Terror" story. And not because it was erotic. This new author did an excellent job of capturing Kirk and Spock's inner thoughts and feelings via her word choice. This was consistently told throughout, and didn't fall into the common trap of making the sex scene a mere description of who was doing what to whom. Just a few of the phrases that struck me as being particularly powerful images: Kirk "couldn't take a drink. Not when he needed one so badly."; Kirk "cinching the tie at the waist as mercilessly as a chastity belt"; Kirk "weaving his fingers more tightly into the thick silkiness of the Vulcan's hair"; "each of Spock's kisses was a ritual purification, every caress a benediction." This was an impressive bit of writing, and a warm and loving first timer. I look forward to reading more from this author. [1]
